I'm taking an acrylics class in college, and thought it might be cool to take pictures of some of the projects I've been working on.

Actual dimensions of this canvas is 16x20", and the whole thing probably took ~14 hours to finish? Haha, I've been living in the art studio for the past couple of days to work on this thing. :)

Ahhhh your art has become so incredibly beautiful. You seem like the kind of person who can take a class and really MASTER a subject even while still in the process of learning it. I took an art class, but noneeeee of my stuff looked even remotely as good as the things you've been posting!

I look forward to your posts, but I've been so busy I rarely ever get to comment on them. Still, whenever I see them, I'm always just stunned.

I love the expression here, and the smoothness of the color in her face--it honestly looks like real skin that you might see in a beauty ad, which contrasts so well with the bizarreness of the octopus hair.

All the attention to detail in those tiny suckers is really incredible too!

It's just gorgeous, in short. :heart:

Ahhh you're the best! I always love reading your comments (more, MORREEEE). And THANK YOU especially for noticing the skin- acrylic doesn't blend as easily as oil paint so it was a hell of a time trying to get the colors to blend properly. :D

I was planning to bring up highlights in some areas of the skin, and possibly liven up the background a little...but right now, I'm planning to accept the painting as it is and come back to it when I'm not as tired of looking at it, haha.

Some highlights would look nice :D but I think you've done a great job. Even if you left it as it is its still a nice painting! :love:
